This little rose motif is such fun to tat. I did it before and always with shuttles, I wonder how it will turn out with a needle. With shuttles it becomes very neat and flat and I like that. I think there are a lot of variations possible, especially when you make the picots on the first ring larger. You start with a ring with picots, after closing the ring you have to make a false or mock picot. That sounds complicated but I found a handy tutorial on Sharon's blog. Have a look! The pattern comes from Jon's Tatting patterns. I used the rose before in a necklace in combinations with needle pieces. See the photograph.

I love patterns with squares in it, especially when all you make are little circles. So this pattern from Jon's tatting patterns was very attractive to me. You have to make four squares and put them together. I used thread #20 and shuttles, then the doily measures 18 by 18 cm. The pattern link you find here.
